Late Shift 6: Into the Future

00:15 / 05.01.03

Well, I did get to say hello to people tonight, at least. Sniff.

I also went to the doctor this morning, before coming back to do some internet sett-uppy things. I still am not sure about whether I should take anything or not.

Worried.

Ganesh

00:17 / 05.01.03

You should. PM me if you want to discuss it.

I just got home, and everywhere is covered with my late nan's stuff. How very wierd. For all you who are sleeping on someone else's floor tonight... I am sleeping on my own floor. My uncle has my bed and I am exiled downstairs!

00:22 / 05.01.03

And suddenly it feels like everyone's still in the same room, maybe it's the smell of cigarettes floating in waves off my clothes!

00:34 / 05.01.03

Sorry I missed yr telephonic presence, Roth. But hello anyway.

21:33 / 05.01.03

I'm back. Same room? Not quite. At work again - quite unimpressed with the day, but hey.

Ganesh: will do.

And stoatie: I know! Gah. Wish I'd been able to chat to you, too. Hello back.

Football (US) sucks. Primarily because of its inability to adhere to its own damn timeslot.

Anyone else up?

I'm finding weblogs of people called Janina. I have found three.

Mazarine

00:02 / 06.01.03

Any good?

00:05 / 06.01.03

Yeah, I'm at work again. But as of the morning, I'm off for a week! Yay me! I've just been looking up stupid laws online instead of working, so I foresee a big rushing-to-meet-deadlines panic at about 5 am.

00:05 / 06.01.03

Not really but I've decided that they all should have links because they're called janina and there are so few I really can't pick and choose.

00:33 / 06.01.03

Does that make you kind of like a blogger equivalent of Dave Gorman?

00:44 / 06.01.03

Still aroond. Though about to go have lunch, and see if a) I can find any 3/4 trousers and b) see if Behringer's amps are any good.

Hm. Maybe.

Mazarine

00:50 / 06.01.03

3/4 trousers. Are those like clamdiggers?

00:57 / 06.01.03

I think they're like 3/4 trouser, 1/4 sock.

01:08 / 06.01.03

Coo I hadn't thought of that, maybe, except my name isn't reeeeaaallllyyyy Janina and I'm not going to tell any of them that I've put the links up. This is a stealth operation. Say if you find any Janina's you must tell me immediately!!

01:19 / 06.01.03

(whispers) hey, my name's not really Chairman Maominstoat either. But don't tell anyone.

01:29 / 06.01.03

Ohmygod, my world is shattered, and it suited you so well!

01:37 / 06.01.03

I do think Brian Aldridge is a wanker, though.

01:52 / 06.01.03

RGM: Yep. Methinks. But couldn't find any. And the guitar store was full of fuckers playing Limp Bizkit riffs, so I couldn't test out the amp.

Deadshits.

Maybe I should change my real name to Rothkoid. Then I could get my own TV show: The Rothkoid Files. Sounds like every Monday lunchtime at university that I ever had...

01:54 / 06.01.03

The Rothkoid Files. That would be class.

The Strobe

09:41 / 06.01.03

Surely: Rothkoid PI?

Or perhaps just Rothkoid, which is either about a detective, a forensic pathologist, an antiques dealer, or a lawyer.

Or Rothkoid!, which is about a badly dubbed thing with mad kungfu-skillz.

09:51 / 06.01.03

I'm tempted to start a "pitch a show for Rothkoid" thread. But am just worried that it a) takes Barbe-selfindulgence to new heights (or lows) and b) wouldn't be long until someone makes a Rothkoid and Son joke.

You dirty old fictionsuit!

Mourne Kransky

Star Trek II: The Roth of Koid was good. Ricardo Lamas doesn't have your legs though.

ONLY NICE THINGS

17:01 / 06.01.03

Ricardo Mont(theface)alban, surely? He was the Red Skull as well, I think. And mounted the face of glamorous Joan Collins.

Eeeeevil.

The Strobe

17:40 / 06.01.03

And, of course, tried to mount the face of a poor imitator of HRH The Queen in Naked Gun. Top bombing.

And surely: Episode Six: Return of the Rothkoid?

Mourne Kransky

18:06 / 06.01.03

Wrong orange skinned mutant actor, dagnabbit! I would do it when Haus is watching too...

21:33 / 06.01.03

As long as nobody has me confused with Hervé Villechaize, then it's ALL GOOD.

Ariadne

23:16 / 06.01.03

Man, it's cold. My heating's usually pretty good but it's a bit chilly in here tonight. And that's in London - how will I cope in Boston next week if I'm this wimpy?

telyn

23:54 / 06.01.03

Thermal underwear? Ugly, but useful.

I'm going 100 miles north tomorrow - expecting quite a temperature change as well. I haven't quite finished packing but I can do it in the morning when I know how I'm travelling.

00:29 / 07.01.03

Have some of out heat, Ariadne. I don't need to be sweating while I walk. Mm, attractive.

If Boston cold is anything like Toronto cold, you should be fine: just wear more layers. I found it colder in London than anywhere because it's kinda damp, I think: it's the ineffectual, constant rainy weather that sorta does it, I guess...

00:31 / 07.01.03

Well I'm bloody freezing and tired and I've been watching The Geena Davis Show and that's just really sad.
